Numbers Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Don't understand Obertan's constant need to stop the ball and do a few stepovers. Just run and stick it in the box, or run and take someone on. Don't f***ing stop play completely! Exactly. What good is pace when you stop running, let the opposition player catch up and start doing step overs. Maybe he's trained with Cronaldo too long..? It's frustrating, we get the ball out to him and the attack just fizzles out because he is standing in the corner making the grass dizzy with infinite stepovers.

Memphis Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It is remarkable how they haven't gotten a single yellow despite constant fouling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 How we are not at least two goals up is beyond me. We're not carving them up at will, tbf. Mixed phases of quality and delivery. Hopefully it will come, but don't think Best-Ba are playing especially well together. They're both having good games, so it's a weird comment, but their partnership seems a little off to me. I liked the Blackburn game where Best was a bit deeper, and providing goals [not that he isn't capable of being the poacher too]. I meant the shots from Collocini and Ba that hit the woodwork.

James Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Understand the frustration with Obertan, but if you're gonna notice the times he takes to long on the ball, you have to praise the times hes going past 2-3 on his own and creates chances. He's having a good game. Thirded, to be honest he does good stuff in every game, but has his poor moments, a bit like Shola really and I don't hate Shola. People just need to accept that he is very inconsistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 people are ignoring Best's contribution, He changes the complexion of our game, giving more option in attack, whenever we need to play the ball high or long, or just fire it into Best's body and he will make it stick or flick it on. very useful player, and does things that shola can only dream of.

Interpolic Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Obertan's been hit and miss but I personally think Swansea would be delighted to see him go off, has caused them all sorts of problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Seriously, on a match like this, Ben Arfa should be perfect on the right wing. We are pushing this lot so far back. Jonas are more a midfielder, so we should try 433 with Best and Ba in the middle, best a little to the left. Let Ben Arfa use the space on the right. Good idea mate, sound awesome, hope we try it.

Beezeri Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 as Swans definitely don't look like scoring today! Don't say things like that. For once I'm quite confident of such thing happening! Maybe they'll get a chance or two but Timmy will stop them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's actually good to have Best playing he's offering us a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Should definitely keep things the same for the next 20 minutes at least, then maybe Shola for Best and Ben Arfa for Jonas / Obertan depending on how it's going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 We definitely looked good in the first half. Ba has been unlucky not to be on the scoresheet already but still quite a lot of positive stuff. Just to have to keep it up in the second half.

He's having a good game. Agreed, kind of makes you not want to read the rest of an agenda ridden sentence when it starts like 'well he hasn't been as fucking abysmal as usual' when the player in question is having a good game. Judge a players performance during that game by that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
